Richmond-based London Drugs is holding 15 oral health screening clinics in its stores across the Lower Mainland until May 18. The clinics follow a successful pilot project in 2015, which featured what the chain said was the first oral cancer screening in a pharmacy. The screening will be done using a hand-held device called the VELscope Vx Enhanced Oral Assessment System. Once completed, patients will receive an evaluation summary. The screening will cost $25, of which $5 will be donated to the BC Oral Cancer Prevention Program. Screenings are available at select locations only.
